This was going to be Ray's first time in a wrestling ring. Up to this point his wrestling experience was limited to horsing around with friends and a little amateur style wrestling in high school. Neither of which had prepared him for what was about to take place.

The Initiation
This was going to be Ray's first time in a wrestling ring. Up to this point his wrestling experience was limited to horsing around with friends and a little amateur style wrestling in high school. Neither of which had prepared him for what was about to take place.

The Campout
I'm proud of the fact that I have always taken pretty good care of myself. Dad started me lifting weights with him while I was still in grade school and I really got into it for high school football. Football was good for me, good enough to pay for 4 years at UCLA. Even today at 28, my health is important enough to get me in the gym 5 or 6 days a week. I'm able to keep my weight down to a lean 216 which seems about right for my six-foot one frame. This is a young man's world and my dedication to good health not only keeps me in the running with the young bucks, I can still kick the ass of just about any man I come up against.

Wrestling Weekend Part 1
It was the summer of 1996 and I was just finishing up my dissertation. While I worked on my degree, I earned money any way I could. I sold plasma, worked temp jobs, and did some wrestling for a local pro league: the GLW Great Lakes Wrestling. I wrestled under the name "The Defenseman"; my partner Kevin "The Goalie" Moran and I were known only as "Slapshot" and for nine months, we were undefeated tag team champs. Kevin was a master of high flying moves, while I was the tough little fireplug who could fistfight his way out of any trouble. But then Kevin graduated and took a job out of town and I just lost interest in the whole scene. Actually, the money wasn't bad for forty minutes of work (sometimes when we were short wrestlers, I'd put on a mask and wrestle twice or three times). And I loved the fights the smelly cigars, sweat, stale beer, the buzz of inflicting pain, the dizzying rush of being on the receiving end and then fighting back.

Military Match
This match is an all out fight between two guys who have gone at it before, not against each other till now. Chris, 245 pounds of beef, 5 foot 11 and just big, muscular, yes, but not defined, rough and rugged. An ex-marine who is bearish but trimmed, a big solid chest, half dollar nipples and impressive arms. Chris’s rugged features make him handsome yet not a pretty boy by any means. Derek on the other hand was all that, 5 foot 8, 200 pounds, dashing good looks and also a military background. Showed a six-pack but was more proud of his big chest that tapered down to a small waist. Clean- and defined, Derek was straight out of GQ, his dark tan was fake, but his bulge in his tight square cut shorts was not.

The Fireman
Bruno’s friends and co-workers had a nickname for him – Bruno the Bear. They meant it as a compliment. He was the ultimate man in their eyes. He was rugged and macho, testosterone oozing from every pour. His voice was deep and rich. The fact was that every man wanted to be his friend and every woman wanted to be his lover. Bruno was a firefighter, which only increased the allure – firefighters were notoriously strong and sexy. The fact that Bruno risked his life every day to save others was an added bonus.

Routine Maintenance
It all started with the stove in my apartment. One of the elements in the oven has this intermittent problem, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. It's just enough to be a pain in the ass so I finally called the manager and had them send Chad over. Chad is the maintenance man for the complex and an interesting guy. He's about 5'10" or so and around 180 pounds. At 22 he is fairly young but seems to know his stuff and does pretty good work. He's kind of aloof and it seems to me he's got an attitude. Some people say I do too and maybe that's why the two of us never really hit it off.
Routine Maintenance II
I HATE my kitchen!
I was never really fond of the kitchen, but since our maintenance man physically trashed me, TWICE, I can't go near the damn room without remembering every painful moment.
Redneck Arena History
The Redneck Arena has become a popular venue for many of my stories. This is very surprising as it was initially created for only one story (Bodybuilder’s Destruction), but then took on a life of its own. So here is the “official” version of the history of the redneck area.
By
The Mangler
The Redneck Arena. Of course, that wasn't the official name of the place but no one remembered what that was. The Redneck Arena was used by an 'underground' wrestling circuit where the action could be, and often was, rougher and more brutal than what was normally allowed.
Bodybuilder's Destruction

Todd
pulled Curt from the mat, lifted him above his head and delivered a power slam
to the mat. Rolling Curt up into a small package, Todd watched and listened as
the referee counted "one, two, three." As the crowd cheered their
approval, Brett, the referee, lifted Todd's arm to signify him as the winner of
the match.
"Yeah,
I won, but no thanks to you shithead," Todd said in a low voice to Brett.
"What
the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"What
do you mean, 'What does that mean'? It means that was the worst job of
officiating I have ever seen in a match."
Releasing
Todd's arm, Brett turned to face him. "Fuck you, asshole. The match was
refereed fair and square. Just because he had you going for a while there is no
reason to take it out on me."
